It will' e understood however tli v roll 87 may be omitted,'but when metal strips are employed it is very im ortant that the spirally wound olished ace of the stock be protected rom scratching, and paper is then preferably used. In, order to prevent the excessive back-winding or the uncoiling of the metal stock upon either of drawing and delivery reels of the machine whose purposes are to carry the stock or material that is being operated upon.

The construction of the machine is such that when desired the drawing or delivering reel may be substituted for each other or run 1' opposite directions to sulgect the stock to repeated action of the bu wheel. Upon the end of the. machine is the shaft 33 which has its intermediate portion, as at 5-3, squared, with one end rotatably mounted in a fixed arm 54 upon the rear of the machine, and its opposite end mounted in a bracket arm 55 extending from a hub 56 that has been operated upon, it the be wound in as iral,
